I found out the solution: just rename the Quick Connect appearing in the TextBox to your favorite name, and it is done!

Had the same problem, discovered that there is a bug using snap. Removed the snap and reinstalled from Remmina repository for Ubuntu. Also made sure the permissions were set on ~/.remmina. Works fine now. This is on Xubuntu 16.10. Seems that others have also noted that the issue relates to Xubuntu.

sudo snap remove remmina

Get repo details from Remmina site.

sudo apt install remmina

Open Remmina, then go to the Preferences (under three bars), then change Remmina data folder to your username.

Also make sure you own the .remmina folder (and all its contents).

$ ls -l --directory ~/.remmina/

Your user name should appear on the ls record like:

drwx------ 2 username username 4096 Jan 1 12:15 /home/username/.remmina

If root owns this file, You can correct the permissions like:

# chown --reference ~/ --recursive ~/.remmina/

Notes:

# Implies "run as root" (eg with sudo), as only root may change ownership of files.
--reference ~/ Tells chown to copy the ownership of ~/, which bash expands before the command gets executed, and points to your home folder.

create directory ~/.remmina if it doesn't exists and check what you own

You need to save your connection, total connection not only your password.
